THE dude has been made the tar
get for the wits during many
moons and heartless words without

the story that, being asked to say

an old acquaintance and said, "Ah
there, Lord. Thanks awfully."

McMinnville New Era: There is

the beverage from the barrel: Since
then Mr.: Fry and his children have
honored the animal and given it beer
often. It can now drink about ten or
fifteen saucers of beer d day; and has
never shown any signs OF being drunk,
nor does the beer seem to affect the
rabbit in any other way. A rabbit

The Trade Of Marriage:

The usual retort, when women COM

find men to SUI pport them: As there are
100000 more women than men I'M
England, it is obviously impossible
that every woman should lave q hus.
band. This state of things Is as bad
in Germany also. The preponderance
Of the women over the men is greatest
in the professional and upper middle
elias ses.' Among the richer aristoc-
racy of England, and the absolutely
working people, the sexes are still
equal in number, and women can still
marry. But the sons of clergymen Of
ticers, civil servants, lawyers, doctors
and some of the country gentry find
the struggle for existence too great in
this kingdom; they emierate or leave
the country by Joining the military
or naval service. Their sisters all re.
main at home, unable to find hus-
bands, and uneducated for work,
even domesti: work. These "super-
tluOus women most undoubtedly, as a
body. perform the first duty of their
sex-that OF Icing charming; they are
often handsome: are generally we'll
hammered, and we'll dressed. They are
''charmers' but there is no one to
charm. They know very we'll that
their chances ofmarriage arealmost nil;
therefore, should solitary sutton with
even a modest competency appear, they
feel driven: to accept the first man
who asks them, whether they care for
him or not, and most generally they
do not. Their parents wish TO get
rid OF them, so they marry without
love. An evil arises out of this, more
CHASTITY than can be described. The
marriage OF CONVEYANCE is q recognized
social institution aboad. In England,
in this nineteenth century, the women
OF the upper middle classes adopt it
without acknowledging it. However
we may affect to deny it, there is a
in all classes. The fault Is sometimes
ascribed to the present degeneracy of
women and sometimes to the deterior-
alton Of men. The fault really lies in
our social system, which gives /, wom-
an neither work nor money and
obliges her to sell herself before she
has lost her only salable commodities
youth and beauty. AS there exists
four ''superhuous women" to one man,
the female has no choice, while the
lordly male has the greater number
from whom to pick and choose. There
fore, IN this country many women have
not only no chance Of marrying at all
but no freedom of selection whatever.

Our Big Men Abroad.

From London Letter.
There will be a number of our public
men in Europe this summer. l have
heard of at least twenty Senator'S who
expect to be here some time next
month. Senators spooner, Hale and
Mcpherson are expected here within
the next fortnight. Our public men
receive but very little attention, when
they come over here, compared to the
attention showered upon the public
men OF this country or any foreign
country when they come to Washing
ton. There is no representative OF
any power. however humble, who
comes to Washington, who is not in
vited on the floor Of both branches of
Congress and is certain, while there,
to be presented to our leading public
men. This form of courtesy is never
returned here. When our Senators
come to London, the best that they
can obtain is an order for a seat in
some of the special galleries and that
they have to ask for; and unless they
come specially introduced, they re-
ceive no more attention than any or.
binary tourist. It is time for q mild
retaliation in this direction. l think
it would be no more than right if our
representatives at Washington should
cease being so demonstrative in their
welcome to foreign visitors. Let them
poke their way about and ask for ia
vors. The time has gone by for such
open evidences Of Joy at the honor of
q visit from a foreign legislator or
official.
